I see n8n everywhere and while I love automation I can't think of a use case, that couldn't be realized in Bash instead.

So I'm wondering, if you use n8n what are you using it for?

My thoughts exactly. Node-RED is long overdue for a UI/UX overhaul, but it’s been around forever and is very well established with a lot of plugins.

I started using it for IoT ingestion, but now I use it for all sorts of things (mostly related to home automation).

That said, im also running n8n now due to the hype, and it is nice… but I dont see any differences that would make me move to it for most of what im automating.
